Hi, I have a small...

Hi, I have a small white spot that I noticed a couple days ago on the head of my penis, it’s on the lip right after the shaft. It’s not raised or nothing like that, more of a discoloration. Painless and not itchy.

I won’t keep bugging you until I get the photo for you but does it sound like anything serious to you? I couldn’t find anything online that explained it perfectly or a picture that looked anything similar

Sorry for late reply and inconvenience.Thanks for the follow-up.I understand your concern.As per your description and photos, This spot looks completely harmless - it could be a prominent penile skin gland or it could be mild skin irritation/ dermatitis/ eczema or post inflammatory hypopigmentation which is basically some loss of skin pigment following irritation of the penile skin.

It does not look like a wart or any other STD.

I would advise you some self-care remedies which you can try.An application of OTC Hydrocort ointment and Polysporin ointment on the affected site twice a day.Take a cool water bath and keep it dry and afterward, apply OTC Zeasorb AF powder.Take OTC Advil and Allegra for 5 days.Wear loose-fitting cotton fabric boxer.Avoid rough masturbation, popping, scratching."I sincerely ***** ***** I have helped you and that I have earned my 5-star rating today!Please remember to rate my service by selecting the 5 stars at the top of the screen ( rating me now does not close your question).We can continue here until you are satisfied, simply use the reply box and let me know.

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.
